Work with us

Help improve people’s working lives.

People the world over spend a lot of time and energy on work. It can be a source of identity and inspiration, but it can also be a source of anxiety and frustration – so it’s important people know their contribution matters. Helping improve people’s experience of working life is one of the things we at Slack have set out to do.

That starts with our own team.

We’re building a strong, diverse team of curious, creative people who want to find a purpose in their work and support each other in the process. We work hard and we play to win… within normal business hours. And then we go home.

That balance is important: it enables us to truly do the best work of our lives. As a result, we create a place where all kinds of work happens – and happens well – all while working alongside people we respect and admire.

Our core values

These are some of the values we live by as a company. And we work by them too: we’re building a platform and products we believe in – knowing there is real value to be gained from helping people, wherever they are, to simplify whatever it is that they do and bring more of themselves to their work.

Working and thriving

We want people to thrive at Slack; we believe you do your best work when you feel your best. Here are a just a few of the benefits we’re proud to make available to our team.*

Learning & development

Each year receive the equivalent of $500 towards a personal development opportunity of your choice and the equivalent of $2,000 for professional development.

Health & wellness

Full health coverage for you and your family (Slack pays 100% of your premiums) and the equivalent of a $150 monthly fitness and wellness allowance.

Parental leave

A lot of us have families, of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and we welcome each new addition with generous parental leave and “bonding leave”.

Happier weekdays

A culture light on meetings (or that’s our aim, at least), weekly massage therapy, guest speakers and opportunities to get to know your team better through events like weekly catered lunches and breakfasts, Thursday Socials and game nights. But we don’t stay in the office all day, every day.

* These are the benefits for US-based employees. We have equivalent benefits at all our offices, wherever they are. We’ll update this soon.
